Health care will likely remain near the top of the nation's policy agenda over the next year. Under the proposed grant, Columbia University's Sherry Glied and her team of researchers will conduct original analyses to inform policymakers about key issues in health insurance reform—with specific topics dependent on the unfolding political, economic, and fiscal environments at the federal and state levels. They will also examine the relationship between the State Scorecard's health outcome measures and state variations in health policy, uninsured rates, physician supply, and economic conditions. As in the past, the Columbia team will provide programming, data, and analytic support for the Fund, the Commission on a High Performance Health System, and grantees.
